VGA over Cat5 Extender Kit

The Tripp Lite B130-101-2 kit extends a single VGA source to two remote displays over Category 6 twisted-pair cable. It includes a local transmitter and a remote receiver, each powered by an external 5V supply, and supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 at 60Hz. The package also provides a mini-screwdriver for equalisation and gain adjustments plus mounting hardware for fixed installations. It suits integrators and IT teams distributing analogue video in classrooms, conference rooms or digital-signage runs.

Sustained signal integrity

The extender maintains a 1920 x 1440 signal at 60Hz over distances up to 500 feet using solid 24AWG Cat5e or Cat6 cable. At the lower 1024 x 768 resolution the link remains stable to 1000 feet. Built-in equalisation and gain controls let the installer compensate for cable attenuation during commissioning, so image quality stays consistent across the full rated range without periodic re-tuning. EDID copying ensures the source detects the correct display capabilities continuously.

Thermals noise and power

Both the transmitter and receiver are passively cooled metal enclosures measuring 4.5 x 2.5 x 1 inches and 3.5 x 2.5 x 1 inches respectively, so they add no audible fan noise to quiet environments. Each unit draws power from its own 100-240V 50/60Hz 0.5A input supply delivering 5V at 2A, resulting in low heat output during continuous operation. The compact footprint allows discreet mounting behind displays or above ceiling tiles without special ventilation.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the B130-101-2 transmitter produce when running continuously?

The transmitter draws 5V at 2A from its external supply, so it dissipates roughly 10W as heat; the compact 4.5" x 2.5" x 1" case relies on passive convection.

What cabling and display connectors must I already have to use this extender kit?

You need 24AWG solid-conductor Cat5e or Cat6 patch cable with RJ45 plugs, plus a VGA source with HD15 output and a display with HD15 input.

Will the B130-101-2 work with my older 1024 x 768 monitor at the full 1,000 ft distance?

Yes, the kit extends 1024 x 768 at 60Hz up to 1,000 ft over Cat5e/6; EDID copy and manual EQ/Gain controls help maintain compatibility.
